Is this swelling after liquid rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

I received a liquid rhinoplasty about 26 hours ago. These pictures are taken between today and yesterday after surgery. My nose seems to be all crooked on my right side. Could this be swelling or is it way too crooked to actually be swelling that would comepletley resolve? My doctor said it’s swelling but it also happened immediately after injecting. He used a Canula through my right nostril to get to the bridge

HA Is hydrophilic, which means that it loves water. In that regard, it is not uncommon for injections to look puffier a day after your procedure. If you are concerned by how you look or feel, please consult with your physician. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question. You are in the early stages of your recovery so you are likely experiencing swelling. Please meet with your board certified facial plastic surgeon in-person to review your healing progress.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question.
26 hours is still very early post treatment and it is likely that you will be
experiencing swelling.  In my experience,
it is best to wait a few days before a true assessment can be made by your
treatment provider.  In the interim
however there are some things you can do to alleviate the swelling including the
very gentle application of cold ice packs as often as you can.  You can also use arnica cream over the
affected area.  It would be a good idea
to avoid alcohol until the swelling has subsided too.

You are in the early stages of post filler swelling. Different parts of the face swell at different rates. Nonsurgical nose jobs tend to swell moderately and very quickly after treatment.  Make sure you have an appointment set up with your doctor for 2 to 3 weeks after your original treatment. She will be able to assess your results at that point , and determine if there is any fine tuning needed. 
The advantage of a nonsurgical procedure is the opportunity to perfect the results in the subsequent appointment. 
Best of luck,

Swelling is common after filler injections and so I would wait a few days before judging the results of you treatment. Followup with your injector as needed.
